Danielle Walker s Against All Grain Meat Lovers Pizza with Cauliflower Crust Equipment Cutting board and knife Food processor or cheese grater Steamer basket and pot Parchment paper and sheet pan Pastry brush Large sauté pan Pizza cutter Mixing bowl Ingredients & Prep Step-by-Step Pizza: ½ head cauliflower, about 2 cups grated ½ cup + 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 garlic clove, crushed ¼ tsp sea salt ½ tbsp fresh basil, chopped 1 egg 2 tbsp coconut flour 1 tbsp virgin olive oil ½ tsp garlic salt Toppings: in a large sauté pan: ¼ pound chorizo sausage, casing removed 2 ounces bacon (nitrate-free), diced 2 tbsp crimini mushrooms, chopped ¼ cup red bell peppers, thinly sliced ¼ cup yellow onions, thinly sliced ¼ cup diced tomatoes ½ cup marinara sauce ½ cup raw cheddar cheese 6. 7. 8. 9. Preheat your oven to 450. Trim the cauliflower and remove the stems. Rice the cauliflower by using the grating attachment on a food processor. You can also grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater. Pick out any large fragments that may have slipped through the holes. Place in a steamer placed over an inch or 2 of boiling water, and steam for about 5 minutes, until just tender but not fully cooked. Don t let the cauliflower touch the water, it will absorb too much of the water and make a soggy crust. Combine the cauliflower, cheese, garlic, salt, basil, egg, and coconut flour in a bowl. Mix until combined. Form two 8 inch circles with the dough on a piece of parchment paper. The dough will be pretty loose until it is cooked, so use your hands to form it into a circle and lightly press with your palms until it is ½ inch thick. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake at 450 for 15 minutes, or until slightly browned around the edges. Warm a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the sausage, bacon, mushrooms, peppers, and onions until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly soft. Let the crust cool slightly, then add the sauce, toppings, and cheese and place under the broiler for 5-6 minutes until the cheese is melted. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. You can use any toppings you like, but because the crust is pre-baked, you will need to cook the vegetables and meat before baking the entire pizza.!3

Danielle Walker s Against All Grain Chicken Tikka Masala with Saffron Rice Preparing the Chicken with Sauce Preparing the Cashew Cream 6. 7. Make the Masala marinade by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge overnight, or up to 48 hours. Remove the chicken from the bowl and, using a paper towel, blot off the remaining marinade. Place chicken on a baking sheet and place under the broiler until just cooked through and showing some brown spots. Depending on the size of the thighs, it should take about 10-12 minutes. Turn once half way through. In a large dutch oven or stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the onion, garlic and ginger until slightly browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. Add the spices and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and honey. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove the chicken from the oven and cut into cubes. Add the almond milk and cashew cream then continue to cook over low heat for about 10 more minutes. Stir in the chicken, season with salt and pepper, then serve over cauliflower rice and garnish with chopped cilantro. Soak 1 cup of raw cashews in 3 cups boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain the cashews, and discard the soaking water. Place the cashews in a blender with 3/4 cup of fresh water and blend until smooth. It should be a similar thickness of a greek yogurt. If it s too thick, add a little water at a time to get your desired consistency. Preparing the Rice Run the florets through a food processor and process until finely grated to the size of rice grains or grate them on a cheese grater. Melt the butter or coconut oil in a sauté pan over mediumhigh heat, then add cauliflower and spices. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the peas. Slowly add the chicken stock, stirring in between, until all of the liquid is absorbed and the cauliflower is mostly cooked but with a little crunch left to it. Add salt and pepper to your liking. Remove the cloves, cinnamon stick, and the cardamom pods before serving. The yogurt in the marinade helps to tenderize the chicken, but is not completely necessary. If you re Paleo and don t want to go through the trouble of making a cashew yogurt or something of the like, then you can use a little baking soda in the marinade to help tenderize the meat. Marinate the chicken with a little olive oil, all of the spices, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. You can also make the cashew cream in advance to save time and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.!6
